Web design, Swansea SA1
Web Design in Swansea for Restaurants, Cafés, Bars and Pubs
Websites, local search and branding for the restaurants, cafés, bars and pubs of the Market, Wind Street, the Maritime Quarter, SA1, Uplands and Mumbles, built by a twenty-year hospitality operator who comes down from London on the main line from Paddington.
Swansea, plate by plate
From the Market to Mumbles
The Market and Oxford Street
The cockles, the laverbread and the Welsh cakes off the griddle.
Wind Street and Castle Square
The late bars, the restaurants and the castle ruins.
The Maritime Quarter and the Arena
The marina, the museums and a show by the bridge.
SA1 and the Sail Bridge
The dockside tables, the offices and the university.
Uplands, Brynmill and Sketty
The cafés, the students and Dylan Thomas's streets.
Mumbles and the road to Gower
The pier, the ice cream and the seafood by the bay.
The trade in Swansea
Swansea eats at the Market and looks out at the bay
Swansea, Abertawe in Welsh, sits where the Tawe meets a long curve of sand.
- The Wales Airshow in July
- The Swans at home
- A show at the Arena
- Saturday morning at the Market
- A summer evening in Mumbles
- Waterfront Winterland in December
Who trades here
The cockle stalls, the bakers and the lunch counters of the Market, the bars and the restaurants of Wind Street, the cafés of Castle Square and the Kingsway, the marina restaurants and the pre-show tables of the Maritime Quarter, the dockside kitchens of SA1, the brunch cafés, the delis and the student pubs of Uplands and Brynmill, the ice cream parlours, the fish restaurants and the pubs of Mumbles, and the beach cafés and the dining pubs along the lanes of Gower.
The week and the year
A Saturday morning at the Market and the queue for Welsh cakes, a Friday and a Saturday night on Wind Street, a show at the Arena and the tables before it, the Swans or the Ospreys at home and the pubs on the way to the stadium, the students from September to June in Uplands and Brynmill, the Airshow weekend in July when the whole bay is a grandstand, the summer evenings in Mumbles when the tide is in, Winterland in December, and the wet weeks of January when the city eats with itself.
How people arrive
Swansea station is the end of the main line from Paddington, about three hours away, and the start of the lines west to Carmarthen and Pembrokeshire and north through the Heart of Wales, the bus station by the Quadrant brings Mumbles, Gower and the valleys, the M4 runs past the north of the city, Fabian Way brings the motorway in along the docks, Oystermouth Road follows the bay round to Mumbles, and the lighthouse on Mumbles Head stands at the end of every view across the water.
The brief
What a Swansea restaurant website has to do
The Market is ten minutes and Wind Street is the whole night
A stall in the Market feeds people who have ten minutes and know what they came for; a restaurant on Wind Street is chosen the day before by someone planning a night.
Name the place: the Marina, Uplands or Mumbles
A search for dinner in Swansea could mean the marina before a show, a neighbourhood table in Uplands or fish in Mumbles, and they are different evenings and different money.
Show nights and match days need a page of their own
The Arena, the Swans and the Ospreys put a crowd on the same streets at the same hour.
Gower sends you the summer, and it books from the car park
The beaches fill the bay road from the first warm weekend, and a visitor chooses supper on a phone in a car park with one bar of signal.

Questions people ask
Web design in Swansea: the questions people ask
How much does web design cost in Swansea?
From £1,650 for Website – Starter, the same in Swansea as anywhere EDC works. The pricing page lists every package and what it includes.
Do you design websites for businesses in Swansea other than restaurants?
EDC builds for the food and drink trade: restaurants, cafés, bars, pubs, tea rooms, bakeries and delis. A site for a stall in the Market or a fish restaurant in Mumbles is built by someone who has run one.
Who designs restaurant websites in Swansea?
Epicurean Digital Consultants, based in Wimbledon in London and working in Swansea by train and by video call, founded in June 2024 by Ali Solak after twenty years running hospitality operations.
Do you cover Mumbles, Gower, Morriston and Gorseinon as well as the city centre?
Yes. Mumbles, Sketty, Killay, Morriston, Gorseinon, Pontarddulais and the villages of Gower are part of the same trade as Wind Street, and the local search work names the street and the village as well as the city, so the right people find the door.
Do you need to visit the restaurant?
One visit is usual at the start, to see the room, the kitchen and the walk from the station or the sea front; the rest is by video call and email. Swansea is about three hours from Paddington, so a visit takes a day.
Where this page's design comes from
Lensfolk, one of the concept sites in the Web Portfolios
This page shares Lensfolk's darkroom idea, a picture that develops in front of you: there a print in a tray, here copper weathering to verdigris and the photographs showing through as it goes. It is a concept site with a fictional brand; no business on it is real.
